The Scotsman - Scotland won't go soft on cannabis Colin Fox, an SSP MSP, said it was a "colossal waste" that 70 per cent of police anti-drug work was spent chasing cannabis users. "Scotland’s police and court time is being taken up with the prosecution of cannabis users," he said.
"By ruling out a change to the guidelines in Scotland, the First Minister is ensuring that Scotland will continue to live in the past when it comes to making progress on these arcane and outdated laws."
